Today, the promotion released the Noche UFC 3 poster on social media.
Lopes (26-7) had his five-fight win streak snapped in his last outing, when he lost a competitive unanimous decision to Alexander Volkanovski at UFC 314 earlier this year (watch highlights). Before losing in the title fight, Lopes was red-hot, defeating Brian Ortega, Dan Ige, and Sodiq Yusuff.
Silva (16-2) has been absolutely stellar thus far in his UFC career, stopping all six of his opponents. “Lord” is riding a 13-fight win streak and is coming off a complete beatdown of Bryce Mitchell (watch highlights), and two months prior, knocked out Melsik Baghdasaryan at UFC Seattle.
While the main event for Noche UFC 3 is amazing and one of the best fights of the year on paper, the rest of the card blows — check that out here.
